just dance~*~I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

Art and JJ Working on the DetourIn Detour B, Boarder Patrol Agents Art (left) and JJ (right) must pack and crate ten boxes of ginger and deliver them to the shipping depot in other to receive the next clue from the Head Priest on THE AMAZING RACE.

***So guy on left has the mark as well, but not the tall one. Maybe they give the mark before doing the roadblock?

This photo confirms my theory: the bindi is not a part of the FF - we all know that Art and JJ and Davechel are not allowed to take it - (apskip, I truly started to believe that you were right about this), and this is a photo of one of the Detours, so the Head Priest who gives them the next clue at the end is not who made it. So the bindi must be done in the first route marker of the leg, as I stated, along with the clue that contained the first task (Detour/RB) and the FF. And the SB should be before the Detours (Germay) o the RB (Tanzania).

This is something I have noticed too. Do we ever see a team where both members have the mark? This could be an odd coincidence though because JJ and Brendon, Dave and Ralph all have hats pulled low and we don't see Mark's face.If the marking is part of the roadblock then we know that Mopper does not take the FF.

ETA: Actually it is not part of the roadblock because we know that Ralph and Brendon and probably Dave do the RB. Maybe it's a coincidence.

There's a little mistake in my argument: the clue at the first route marker should be a Route Info, that leads the teams to the first task (Detour/RB + FF + SB).

I spec that it could be part of some sort of ceremony, so maybe only one member of the teams received the bindi and the other received the clue.

Am I right in thinking that whoever did the last roadblock can't do this one and their partner has to do this one ?

No...it would depend on the total done by each team member so far in the race, not who did one last.

Thank's for the reply , I never really knew that. Is there a certain number each has to complete ?

Yes. Prior to season 6, there were no limits, so there were M/F teams where the women did only one or so.

After season 5 the "Bowling Mom's" rule says that they must be balanced. Usually even+1 which accounts for the # of eps being odd, or a FF, etc. In recent seasons we have seen cluecards that say so and so MUST do this RB.

Oh ok. So I would assume that Bopper and Brendon probably do the rb this episode.

Six. That's the reason in the Panama leg of TAR19 the RB clue has the name of the team members who must complete it, because their partners had already reach the maximun amount of RBs allowed.

Not Quite! David and Rachel and Art and JJ both had successful FAST FORWARDs and bypassed the ROADBLOCK in those legs. That means that they should have a 6-5 ROADBLOCK count, as 6-6 is mathematically impossible for them, going into the final leg.

What is the green thing that Dave has in his hand when they are in the mototaxi? My best guess is something wrapped in a banana leaf?

Note that when Vanessa falls, Ralph puts a route info clue on the ground while he checks on her welfare.

And when Brendon and Rachel are at the hair cutting task, they have a route info in Brendon's hand. Do racers normally get directed to a FF by a route info? Since both teams have the route info clue still in their hands, I assume that where they pick up the clue is near the hair cutting task.I like finding random crew shots in promos - see the camera as Art and JJ run by with the ginger cart?

Apskip, you're absolutely right. The count of RBs made of both teams is the next, according to my notes (and correct me if the count is wrong):Dave has performed 3 RBs (Argentina-1, Paraguay & Tanzania-2) and Rachel four (Argentina-2, Italia, Germany and India-1).Art has performed 4 Rbs (Argentina-1, Paraguay, Germany and Tanzania-2) and JJ 3 RBs (Argentina-2, Azerbaijan and India-1).
